1)For liferaft Inflation shall be completed within a period of ?

A) 1min at a temperature between 18deg C to 20 deg C.

-> 3min at a temp of 30 deg C.

2) capacity of liferaft that people can fit in it.

A) i) Liferafts of six person to 15 person capacity when carried by
two persons. (ii) Liferafts of more than 15 person capacity when carried
by four persons

3)when the liferaft is fully loaded with crew and equipments it

can be towed at speed of___ in calm Sea water.
A) 3 knots.
4)Name the part of liferaft lashing used for automatic liferaft release
and material ?
A) Hydrostatic Release unit(HRU). (it is made up of glass fiber
supported or reinforced with nylon to prevent corrosion)

5)How many types of launchings of liferaft.

A) Manually, davits, and automatically float free from a sinking
Ship.
6) Generally how many types of liferaft are used on board.
A) Two types of liferafts
-> inflatable liferaft.
 -> Rigid liferaft.

7)what gas is using in liferaft to Inflation.

A) Inflation is done by CO2 with a small quantity of N2 which
acts as an anti-freezing element. Also, CO2 is non-flammable and also
weighs more than air hence adds buoyancy to the raft. The freezing
point of CO2 is -78 degrees so it can inflate life raft at really low
temperatures .

8)Some of the main safety features on a liferaft are.

A) ->Pressure relief valve
->Stabilizing pocket
->Insulated canopy with two layers for protection against heat and cold.
9)What is the length of the painter for liferaft.
A) The life raft shall be fitted with an efficient painter of length equal to
minimum 10 metres plus the distance from the stowed position to the waterline
in the lightest seagoing condition or 15 metres, whichever is greater.
10)Materials used to make liferaft.

A) Materials fall into three broad categories—rubbers, polyurethanes (PU),

and polyvinylchlorides (PVC), with a variety of different compositions among
those. None of these materials is perfect; each has its advantages and
disadvantages from a performance and cost standpoint.
